"There is a harmony in autumn, a lustre in its sky" - Percy Bysshe Shelley

Autumn Cabin kicked off the cabin series and remains MSC’s most popular scent. This fragrance is a homage to the rustic simplicity of a woodland cabin, blending the cozy comforts of fall with the tranquility of the great outdoors.

The heart of Autumn Cabin contains the earthy and sweet warmth of toasted maple which includes my own natural maple accord made with essential oils*. The maple remains subdued and never overpowers the blend, revealing the invigorating evergreens of fir needle, balsam fir, and juniper. In the background, subtle notes of pear and lemon add a delicate nuance, adding complexity to the maple's sweetness and also gives the dense maple some lightness.

Cedarwood and vanilla ground the composition, infusing it with a rich, woody depth.

*There is no such thing as maple essential oil, so the accord represents my sincere effort to capture an authentic aroma, adding a touch of natural realism to the blend. It contains various cedars including the spicy and rich “atlas cedarwood,“ citrus, cade, cardamom and evergreens. This maple accord is also available for individual purchase, offering you the opportunity to infuse your surroundings with the essence of autumn.
